Genealogy in the ground: observations of jar burials of the Yayoi period, northern Kyushu, Japan
View through CrossRef
The author finds that cemeteries in early
first millennium Japan reflect the associations of
family with land. The burial parties of a core
settlement could be seen to be referring to
earlier burials in a dynastic or genealogical
sequence, while a secondary settlement developed
its burial ground in a disordered sequence. Thus
Koji Mizoguchi shows that the differences between
the haves and have-nots extended their having, or
not having, a history.
